singular nouns
Not multiple things
Singular nouns name one person, place, thing, or idea—as opposed to plural nouns, which name more than one.
Most English nouns form plurals by adding -s or -es: one cat, two cats.
Some change form entirely: one child, two children.
Mass nouns like water or information typically appear only in singular form.
